I used to own a Bear stock for my biathlon rifle, exactly as pictured in this video. Beautiful, perfect shape and light weight. I did not know these were entirely built by hand, I'm happy to learn that they are.
Fine work, brother. A great video of excellent work by a true craftsman! As a stock maker myself, I can relate to some of your procedures and admire your skill. I can recognize the years it takes to perfect those techniques that we see in only a few minutes!
I was in fear for him losing his thumb aswell. I've cut myself on various tools and machines and learned the hard way. It's not a pleasant way to learn not to mess with cutting tools by severing the tips of your thumbs
Very labor intensive, and I'm sure the price reflects that. Great work, I'm envious. But way to many scenes with no eye, ear and breathing protection being worn. As a professional you need to set the example.
@@jeannankeefe845 as a gunsmith, I understand the need for PPE to be worn when working day in and day out with the various hazardous materials and substances that we encounter. And stockmaking is no exception. Some woods, not to mention glues stains, oils, and other finishes can cause serious and sometimes fatal respiratory illnesses among other unpleasant conditions. Ebony, ivory and many types of horn, when being ground to shape produce a dust that contains spores that if inhaled can be deadly. So this is not about any sort of political correctness, an implication that does not describe me and which I resent. Doing this type of work I know first hand the toll it can take on the body from not useing protection. Lung/respiratory, liver and kidney damage are the biggest threats. And physically, eye and hand injury are very common. He may live to 104, but you have no idea the injuries he has sustained or the effects on his body. You, should come down off " your " high horse and listen to those that do for a living and have decades of experience to back it. It is a good thing that we have gone from the days when I first started decades ago, when carbon tetrachloride, mercury and asbestos were commonly used, to the realization that safety and PPE are nessecerry in a working shop environment. And if you are employing others to work with you it is not only incumbent upon you to have in place safety and protection for them, but mandated by OSHA to do so. And in stockmaking, as in any environment that produces dust, air filtration of some type is imperative. Airborne dust particulate matter is highly explosive, and once a certain level is reached all it takes is a light being turned on, or a drill started, any spark or ignition source will ignite it and cause a violent explosion. This guy is an amazing stockmaker. But it's best to point out dangerous practices that will be copied by a percentage of fools that will attempt to copy what they see on a TH-cam video.
Well that grip was probably measured to the hand of the shooter who is going to shoot this gun and 22. lr and air sporting guns are very different from nearly all other sport/race/target guns out there.
It doesn't matter, it's not the tools that define the craftsman, but rather his diligence, attention to detail, patience, skill, knowledge and thought process and most of all..... experience. A fantastic and exceptionally accurate rifle will not make you a good shot, but knowing and understanding the fundamentals of propper shooting technique, breathing, trigger control, ranging targets and sight alignment will make even a mediocre rifle shoot well. In other words..... it's not the equipment that makes you good at what you do, it's your level of skill that makes the best use of what equipment you have.
1:57. Guy pulls up and yells at the window. "Two vanilla frosties, one cubby meal, two double bacon combos one with diet Sprite and the other with Tab." "Hello? Hello?" Then realizes he isn't at Burger World.
Cheap garage type of laminate. What type of wood, construction planks of fir? If hand making an individual stock, i would never use that crap, but epoxied multilayer stock blanks from a proven supplier are the choice. Not fearfully expensive
No protection gear, unsafe working techniques... This guy is an amateur doing diy's or something. If you care about your eyesight, lungs and hearing please use protective equipment. Thank me in 20 years
@@Brian420687 I've seen then have problems related to not being laminated, and in 50 years of woodwork, I have never seen a laminated structure, that was properly made come apart as though there was a magic delamination fairy. In the 60s when I was a kid, laminated wood was a very popular material for architectural projects, and a lot of that stuff is still just as it was first installed. Or take a '59 laminated wood Bear Kodiak, a high demand recurve bow. As good as the day it was made.
Biathlon is shot in very damp and miserable weather. I've seen solid stocks go really screwy with warping and swelling. No matter how well the finish is applied, moisture WILL get into the wood. Sometimes old school doesn't work as well. And the .22 rimfire ammo doesn't put a lot of impact on a stock. In most cases either laminate or composite will perform better. I hunt rather than shoot biathlon and most of my field rifles have two stocks. One out of the box engineered material for out in the weather and a custom wood stock for the range and display.

Beautiful work! I watched one being made yesterday and wondered how the stippling was done ... now I know.
Вы один из лучших мастеров, что я когда нибудь видел !!!
That my friend is a work of art !!! Outstanding hand work !!!
I’ll say! Who doesn’t love a good hand job?
My Friends what a confidence in your hands Great Job
Absolutely beautiful work!
Around 4:40 the video jumps from what is still a blank to more than half finished stock, I really wanted to see the trickier parts of the task.
Beautiful work sir!
Beautiful piece!
Nádhera-moc krásná práce!
Beautiful work!

You need a press to get an even loading, and epoxy to laminate properly.
Good mr....mantap 🇮🇩
I hope your jointer isn't hungry for some thumbs.
Uh! Oh! Uh! Wow! Nice job on stock and video! Wow!😳
Remarkable! Man, I wish I had the patience to be a woodworker. Not to mention the skill.
super
Excelente
I think I want to build my own weapon stock one day in the future.
Wow really beautiful btw 👁️👄👁️
cool
Wow..very nice...
1:08 this is how NOT to cut wood with a band saw. It's a miracle this guy still has thumbs!
I was in fear for him losing his thumb aswell. I've cut myself on various tools and machines and learned the hard way.
It's not a pleasant way to learn not to mess with cutting tools by severing the tips of your thumbs
I would say he risked with all the machinery he used: no pushing block ever...
Hi what's the wood you are using
What's the tool he uses for making the grip texture?
Where did you get the stl file?
Master
Czy można zamówić taką osadę pod dowolny karabin ?
Que herramientas usas para la empuñadura de la culata?

Whatvis the timber being used ? Thanks
Very nice work,,,you need a CNC router.

Can you just watch a damn video once

What wood is he using?
ammazing friend👍👍👍👍
How much is your loading mechanism sir?
Nice 👍🤝♥️👌
What is the name of tool you are using for making marks on handle grip? It’s in video on 5:45min
ante trg - it's called a wood stippling punch
You can use a nail set punch for that
Take the High grade wood used on beautiful shotguns and go for it.
Not what you want for a biathlon gun ... totally not wat you want.
Jakiego drewna używasz? Czy to grusza?
😍🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Looks more appropriate for a crossbow.
Well it´s a high class biathlon gun stock. Those don´t really luck like guns in the traditional sense anyways.
What’s with the California compliant featureless grip?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say based on his website he's from Slovakia. California's silly laws don't mean squat to him.
Well that grip was probably measured to the hand of the shooter who is going to shoot this gun and 22. lr and air sporting guns are very different from nearly all other sport/race/target guns out there.
🤠🤠🤠
What brand/model of jointer-plane-disk sander is that??? Thanks

@@bobgarr6246 It matters to me. I don't shoot or make guns. I am a wood worker and that looks like it would fit in my small shop.
Can anyone name the device seen at 5:05 drilling the channels?
Fucking impressive
👌👌👏👏👏👏👏
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
2.05+🙏👍🔔🔔👌😎😎
😮👏👏👏👍
what is the name of this wood please?
Jewel i think it is just white oak, but i prefer nut tree. Light and stable wood, perfect for gunstocks
Craftsmanship is great but it is far from the best looking or most beautiful gun stock I have ever seen.
What glue
Hey man what's the name of this tool? 05:44
Whats the point of not using the machine guards- madness
1:57. Guy pulls up and yells at the window. "Two vanilla frosties, one cubby meal, two double bacon combos one with diet Sprite and the other with Tab."

As a retired shop teacher I have never seen so many poor practices with power tools. Watch those fingers man.
😲😯😥😯😟😲😓 saw skills are 😱😱😱
Here in US 30 employees of OSHA just died of heart attacks :)

Music too loud
This guy is lucky to still have all his fingers. Very unsafe
No protection gear, unsafe working techniques... This guy is an amateur doing diy's or something.

Thank me in 20 years
Laminated? Well I guess its ok for a low end stock. If I'm spending the cash I want it made from one piece of wood
c3pfett laminate is much stronger and more stable.
Not Laminated BUT Wood engineered
@@jamescampbell9533 you wish I've never seen a solid piece of wood come unlaminated before

But, did you want it to be so ugly?
It's a competition stock to be used in a particular stance for precision shooting. Form and function go together here.
That’s the ugliest stock I’ve ever seen
That is a lot of skillful work, but I have to say one of the ugliest stocks I have ever seen!
Must be some kind of European design.
IT FOR AIR GUN COMPETITION.
